During a working visit, Health Minister of Kyrgyzstan Erkin Checheybaev visited the Naryn Regional Combined Hospital, the Regional Family Medicine Center, and healthcare facilities under construction. The press center of the ministry reported.
According to it, there are still pressing issues in the region that require a systemic solution. Among them is a shortage of medical equipment, especially in the hemodialysis and intensive care units, as well as a shortage of medical personnel.
According to data for August 2025, in general, the Naryn region lacks 141 doctors, of whom 23 — directly in the regional hospital. In order to attract specialists, social support measures are being considered, including providing housing for family doctors.
Particular attention during the trip was paid to the progress of construction and infrastructure projects. For example, 15.5 million soms were allocated from the budget for the new morgue building of the Naryn Regional Bureau of Forensic Medicine. The facility will be provided with the necessary equipment.
According to the director of the Naryn Regional Combined Hospital Muratbek Aliaskarov, the hospital has 503 beds. Over the first six months of 2025, 10,328 patients were treated in the hospital, which exceeds the figures for the same period last year (9,459 patients).
